On Wednesday, January 23, I gave testimony on your behalf to the Senate Judiciary Committee on SB 2303, relating to the proposed addition to discrimination statues in the case of sexual orientation and ‘gender identity’.”  Click here to read the bill in its entirety.  

Media on the hearing:

  • West Dakota Fox News at Nine: Dozens Show Support for Bill to Protect Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination
  • The Bismarck Tribune: North Dakota Senate committee rejects LGBT anti-discrimination bill, but amendments expected

Please Act Today:

  1. Contact your Senator and ask for a “No vote” on SB 2303, “relating to the proposed addition to discrimination statues in the case of sexual orientation and ‘gender identity’.” Ask them to oppose special rights and to please vote “No” on SB 2303. To find your Senator and their contact information, click here and then type in your street number and zip code.  Be sure to let them know you are a member of Concerned Women for America of North Dakota.
  2. If time allows, please send an email message to all Senate members listed below and ask for a “No” vote on SB 2303.

SB 2303 creates discrimination.  When “sexual orientation” or “gender identity” is added to a legal or corporate nondiscrimination code, it opens the door to policies that discriminate against people with traditional views as it attacks and opposes the notion that sexual behavior has moral dimensions. If you would like to expound, consider using some points from my testimony.

This law would not protect rights but would rather grant special privileges based strictly on someone’s sexual behavior.   

This bill is on a fast track. We were just informed that this bill will be voted on tomorrow, January 24. It is very important they receive multiple calls.  In years past, this bill has been voted down every time it has gone before a North Dakota legislative body. That does not guarantee that it is not in jeopardy.  They must hear from us!

Please contact Senators today!   They need to hear from you.
